Descripción
Pineapple production in the subtropics is limited by low temperatures. Frost affects the growth and development of the plants, being the main factor that compromises production. One way to mitigate this problem is the use of plastic covers (greenhouses), which could, however, negatively affect the productivity. We studied the flowering and fruiting of pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) in two cropping systems (greenhouse and field) in a subtropical region in the northeast of Argentina. Two experimental batches, with plastic covers and uncovered, divided into eight plots, were set up and phenological crop monitoring was performed. The experimental design was completely random. At the time of harvest, physical and chemical variables, such as length of fruit length with crown, fruit length without crown, equatorial diameter, density, firmness, °Brix and acidity values, were analysed to represent fruit quality. The results showed significant differences between the cultivation systems studied. Cultivation type had a marked effect on fruit quality; fruits produced in the greenhouse had a higher weight and size than those produced in the field; however, the chemical variables related to flavour did not differ significantly between the two cultivation types.
La producción de piña (Ananas comosus L. Merr) en el subtrópico encuentra como principal factor limitante a las bajas temperaturas, ya que afectan el crecimiento y desarrollo de la planta. Una posibilidad concreta para controlar esta dificultad es el uso de coberturas plásticas o invernáculos, el cual podrían incidir en el cultivo y su productividad. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el comportamiento de la floración y fructificación de la piña en dos sistemas de cultivo en regiones subtropicales del nordeste argentino. Se establecieron dos lotes experimentales, con cobertura plástica y sin cobertura, divididos cada uno en ocho parcelas. El diseño experimental fue completamente al azar. Se realizó el seguimiento fenológico del cultivo y para determinar la calidad del fruto se analizaron variables físicas y químicas: longitud del fruto con y sin corona, diámetro ecuatorial, densidad, firmeza, °Brix y acidez. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas entre los sistemas de cultivo estudiados, en donde el sistema de cultivo tuvo un marcado efecto a favor de las frutas producidas por plantas bajo cobertura plástica presentaron un peso y tamaño superior a las producidas sin cobertura; sin embargo las variables químicas relacionadas con el sabor en ambos sistemas no fueron afectadas significativamente.
